In those […]

Selling direct to […]

As most of the readers know by now, I don’t have a television and often when I go to sleep I have the radio on. When I wake up in the middle of night I may hear the middle or the end of a specific issue being discussed on the program. The last time this […]

Look at this, President of Russia, Mr. Putin, wants to control the Ukrainian Government by sending Russian troops and mobilizing the country. Can this be the start of a new cold war? Or is it just to prove that Russia is the boss of the land? But what’s really funny is that the former President […]
